Racing Schools

From Trackpedia

A racing school is a school dedicated to teaching the fine art of performance driving in either regular street cars such as a Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus, Audi, BMW or many others all the way up into purpose built race cars such as a Panoz, Formula Ford.

A quality racing school will push you to the edge and challenge your driving talents which in turn will make you a safer and better driver on the road and of course cut major chunks out of your lap times at your favorite tracks.

What to expect from a Racing School in North America

Each school is different, but the foundations are the same:

 * Learning the basics of car control - gas, brake, steering, shifiting.
 * Racing line - apex, braking, turn in points, etc
 * Passing and Off-line racing
 * Flags and cornerworkers
 * How to handle going off track, oversteer, understeer, spins, etc

You should receive lots of in-class instruction, as well as plenty of track time with one on one instruction from experienced racers.

Expect to have fun, make and learn from mistakes, and have at least one off track adventure.

Here is a video from the MCO race school showing one on one in-car instruction:
